Hi Y'all, Im new to the forum here having found it online doing a search for hosta forums. The only one I belong to is the AOS forum on Facebook. I'm a retired horticulturist having worked in various fields within horticulture and am a collector of a number of groups of plants hostas beginning with about 5 years ago. I have nearly 300 hostas and many rare and hard to find cultivars and hybrids. Though I have many of the more common cultivars and hybrids getting my hands on the more rare forms that I find worthy in looks has been a priority. Of all the plants I have grown, sold and raised over the years never have I seen such a plant that can truly become addictive as the genus Hosta. The mere fact there are literally thousands of them to chose from and new ones coming out each year make it even more difficult to say and hold to..."Im not buying anymore, I'm done." |
Follow-Up Postings:
Wow, we are lucky to have you here, Areyah! We are unabashedly fond of seeing photos around here...so bring on the 300 pictures! :-) Where in zone 7? |
Welcome, Areyah! I'm not sure if you knew this, but there is a membership fee to be on this hosta forum. You have to send a single eye or better of a rare hosta to everyone else that posts at least once a day-yeah, that should do it! ;) All kidding aside, this is a great group and I know you'll enjoy being a part. Looking forward to pics, too! |

Welcome Areyah, you are in the right place. Actually you are in big trouble as we enable as much as we can. 300+ plants please show us some photos. Paula |
Welcome! I am not one of the experts here (including you in that), but I do love reading about and seeing all the wonderful gardens full of hosta here. I am addicted for sure. I will start to post daily, however, should Funn's idea catch on! ;) Cynthia |

Lol thanks all for the comments and warm welcome. I will be happy as one suggested to give a single mature eyed division of Gunther's Prize or Lakeside Foiled Plot your choice to all. Haha now You know that I'm joking, I hope. As growth accelerates all just pips at the moment I'll we be glad to post pics. |
I don't know about Lakeside Foiled Plot. If the photo on Franzen hosta is correct, what makes that rare or interesting? It just green. Why would it be another one of those $1000. hosta? Or, did I miss the joke? Oh, welcome, by the way. bk |

Hi Bk no was no joke of LS Foiled Plot. If you can find it good luck. Look at it in the HL not sure of the pic of the overseas distributor Frans or Franzen Hosta but if a true LS FP unlikely you will find it from any vendor here in the US it is so rare. For those who love green hostas that are cupped,corrigated and green this is a knock out and does not TC thus the rarity. I was fortunate enough to get an OS division a few years ago and the seller has passed away with no word of what happened to his collection. Again do take a look at the pictures in the Library one of the most stunning green hosta ever created. |
welcome. you've been warned ... _~ dave |
Welcome, and I'm sure you will become entranced. Bunch of Hosta loonies here. Mary Chastain was Lakeside Gardens in total, and all those Lakesides are HER efforts, and she is the originator of LS Foiled Plot. Every one of hers was different from the others. Unlike so many hybridizers. How did it get overseas? Did Rob sell it? Geez................... It is beautiful, round, cupped and corregated. And I see that they removed Rob's photo. Good. -Babka |

Areyah, welcome to the GW Hosta Forum. Stick around and have fun; many forum members favor us with some of the best hosta photos on the internet, in my opinion. Your timing is great; kick off the season with us! Cheers, |

Hi, and welcome Areyah! I must warn you that certain folks on this forum, they know who I mean, will make bets on when you'll reach the next 100 hosta marker, or how long it will take you to get there, and then tantalize you with absolutely luscious plants in gorgeous garden settings. So as Bragu said, you are warned....proceed at your own risk as an adult in your right mind with deep pockets or a credit card that automatically pops out of your wallet when the word HOSTA enters your thoughts. Whew. That was a long sentence. And you arrived on the scene just in time, because we were having a discussion about WORDS MEAN SOMETHING. As a horticulturist, your input will be appreciated. |

Areyah, You might be surprised to know I found 'Lakeside Foiled Plot' available in The States from Jim's Hostas. Price is 100 clams. Is that a good price for it? This is a type I like, cupped, dark green, very thick substance (it would seem from pics in the HL) and very corrugated. Is it a large plant? It looks pretty good-sized judging by the plant tag in the first pic in the library. Regards, |

Hi and welcome Areyah! I took the plunge and joined the group a short while ago myself. A great bunch of people who will appreciate your input on a large variety of subjects. Gary |
Wow, LS Foiled Plot really is an exciting look. Not $100 exciting (not for this resident salary budget!), but very cool nonetheless. I love the texture on top of texture, along with cupping, upright, glossy...it has a lot going on! I wonder if LS Prophecy is a relative. ...okay, we need to see YOUR 'Foiled Plot' now, Areyah! Gee, are you feeling attacked yet? Joining this forum with an intro like yours...we can't help but pounce! |
- Posted by Don_in_Colorado 6a (My Page) on Fri, Apr 18, 14 at 20:07
Yes, please post some pics of LS FP when it's all leafed out! That would be great. Don B. P.S. Yeah, Jadie, 100 clams is much more than I have ever paid for a single plant; The temptation to own a rare hosta you really like is something I can understand, though. Know what I mean? : ) |
- Posted by rosie742001 z5Oregon (My Page) on Fri, Apr 18, 14 at 20:09
Wow! LS Foiled Plot. is not just another 'green hosta'! I have been looking for a DARK Green hosta, and that one is it!!! Gorgeous!! $100.00 is alot of dough, but it would be worth it. It would take some soul searching, plus some good excuses! And the money of course.But Holy Crow, think how it would look in your garden! |
Buy, Rosie, buy!! I wonder what the story is behind the name...maybe it's just the recent Aden thread that has me thinking along these lines, but I wonder if there was some hosta-related mischief in its past? :) ...Nah, it's probably just the glossy look that earned the "foiled" description. Makes you wonder though! |
- Posted by josephines67 5 ON (My Page) on Fri, Apr 18, 14 at 23:00
I can get a face to face look at it here next month! Hosta Fever is offering a limited inventory of this one at $75! |
I missed LS Foiled Plot in the hosta library when I first went there. I found it, though. You're right, it's a really stunning hosta. bk |
- Posted by moccasinlanding z9A AL (My Page) on Sat, Apr 19, 14 at 0:03
Breath taking hosta! I look at it and think of the thick waxy leaves on anthuriums. Each leaf is perfection on those plants. This one gives me the feel of Clear Fork River Valley when it is wet. But LSFP is even more architectural in nature. A real beauty. There is one Manhattan that looks as great as this, dark beauty it is. Inspired me to get one, and although mine is young and no where near the one that I was smitten by, I know it from more than 10 feet any day. |
I believe you used the name Bryan when you were on this forum in the past...I have seen you use a half a dozen different names on other forums..........a mystery man. |

Hi Y'all, Well have been very busy going through tons of posts dating back to last year and why I havent posted again. Ken I'm originally from Michigan and do you do stand up comedy anywhere, haha, just kidding. This time of year I cruse the well known and less well known vendors and yes Don I see Jim has Foiled Plot available now. $100.00 would probably be reasonable given its rarity but having done business with him is probably a small plant. I aquired mine 3 years ago along with LS Foot Print and Pillow Talk two other very rare LS hostas now rarely found. Plants that rare I pot up for at least two years if small for protection and ease of care. They are still in pots and will move them into selected beds sometime during the growing season. They are just coming out of dormancy so there is nothing to look at, at the moment. Another rare hosta you may be interested in looking at is Rick Goodenough's Stag Leap which I was also able to get one of only 25 available 2 years ago. In speaking with Rick on this hosta he has no plans at this time to TC it so it will remain rare. I also came across a poster named "idiothe" he being Jim. I see he has a business where he sells hostas and saw someone who ordered from him last year forget who it was showing large plants received. I am preparing to move purchasing a 20 acre piece of property near Nashville, TN. A significant amount of land will be dedicated to hosta beds and a breeding program. For this reason I am looking for a source of mature plants at reasonable prices so my question is is Jim still in business I have not seen any posts from him this year? LOTG sends nice sized plants but can be pricey. |
He might still be in Africa. -Babka |

Hi all,
A quick update to point out - in case you haven't already noticed - that we are re-organising our moddb page(s) - the unreleased version of Stargate Legacy can now be found here: Stargate Legacy beta 2
Main reason for this is people getting confused and thinking our newer version has been released. Also allows me to tidy things up and make this a shrine for the original SG:Legacy.
And who knows, there could be some news for this old dog in the future.
This is the 1.0.0 to 1.0.5 server patch fixing numerous bugs and game play problems. Please make sure you have BETA 1 installed before installing this...

Mental and emotional disorder that affects only part of the personality, is accompanied by a less distorted perception of reality than in a psychosis, and is characterized by various physiological and mental disturbances (such as visceral symptoms and impaired concentration). The neuroses include anxiety attacks, certain forms of depression, hypochondriasis, hysterical reactions, obsessive-compulsive disorders, phobias, various sexual dysfunctions, and some tics. They have traditionally been thought to be based on emotional conflict in which a blocked impulse seeks expression in a disguised response or symptom. Behavioral psychologists regard them as learned, inappropriate responses to stress, which can be unlearned.

Plant coriander in your shoe, hang a fern from your window, throw in a duck or two, and there's your unique green space.
Gnomes aren't the only creatures in your garden anymore. With many new stores offering quirky accessories like suncatchers, birdbaths, shoe planters, table fountains and more, you can make your garden into a unique little world, even if it's just a little space on your balcony or terrace. Here are a few ideas.
Santorini pots, anyone?
My Sunny Balcony aims at bringing gardens back into the city. While they began by selling online, the growing demand for their planters, pot-holders and knick-knacks has pushed them to recently open a store in Koramangala, Tesserae. "The accessories are mainly locally created and sourced. This lets people create gardens that suit their budget, choice and aesthetics," says Shailesh Deshpande, director and co-founder, MySunnyBalcony (MSB). The material they use varies from terra-cotta, wrought iron, bamboo and mosaic to upcycled material, that is, recycled throwaways. With options for terraces, window boxes and backyards, MSB breaks the stereotype that a garden is only possible in large spaces. "Items that save space or allow for greenery in a small space are the fastest moving items at our store," says Deshpande. These include their Santorini pots (blue wall-mounted terracotta pots), metal window boxes and planters for vegetables and herbs. The section devoted to upcycled products is interesting, with everything from glass and plastic bottles to tyres and recycled wood. They work with Second to None, a group that has pioneered the idea of recycling and reusing in urban spaces.
Find it at www.mysunnybalcony.com
Suncatchers and snails
The Little Green Shop turned one last December and aims to create green spaces in people's lives. Accessories range from garden ornaments in terracotta, galvanised metal and papier-mâché to large planter boxes and sun-catchers in stained glass to garden tea lighters, hanging planters and quirky planter designs. "As living spaces get smaller, people try their best to include some greenery in balconies or terraces," says Rajani Sashikanth, co-founder. Customers want large holders that can be used for terraniums, while the shop's balcony railing planter is a bestseller. They even have wired holders for window grilles for those who don't have even a balcony. Smaller accessories like the attractive sun-catchers and the terracotta frogs, turtles and snails are perfect for those tiny lawns and sit-outs. Many of the products here are recycled, especially those made of glass, and most are handmade and eco-friendly.

Say it with water
This garden store in Bangalore concentrates on ceramic planters and water features. But look around and you'll also find stone Buddhas, hammocks, and garden animals. Hybiscus' range of glazed earthen planters in vivid colours is popular, as are their water features, which include floor and table-top fountains made of stone, pebbles or sandstone. We love their birdbaths! Hybiscus also has tumbling composter bins that make your garden self-sufficient. "Garbage management is a big problem in cities and so we launched this product. It is easy to decompose the wet waste we generate and use it in our gardens," says Anita Shah, owner. "The tumbling composter is versatile and can be placed on balconies too." The store also has special wooden pots for palm trees.
Find it at 32, Cunningham Road in Bangalore.
Garden in a shoe
A love for gardening and a Facebook page later, Minette Ranjit quit a full-time job and opened shop. Green Thumbs provides landscaping and gardening solutions, with a focus on individual homes and apartment balconies. Ranjit believes that the smallest places can be used to start a vegetable garden. "People now understand the importance of organic fruits and vegetables, and urban gardening is taking a step in the right direction." Chillies, tomatoes, mint, thyme, oregano, or rosemary — your list is long and lovely. Ranjit's terrariums are a hot item. "These self-contained eco systems are very low maintenance and ideal for people who travel a lot," she says, pointing out that they can be kept indoors and need watering only once a month. Creating wealth from waste began with a shoe! "My husband didn't want to throw out a favourite pair of shoes that were in terrible condition. So we planted a beautiful fern in them and they are growing beautifully," says Ranjit. They also have upcycled bulbs, alcohol bottles, jam and pickle jars, milk packets, cloth bags, tyres, bath tubs, wash basins…

Radio & Electronics Restoration ProjectsRF Cafe visitor Bob Davis, whom I have known for many years, recently sent me (at my request) photos of some of the antique radios that he has restored - it is one of his hobbies. That these radios are still available is a bit miraculous since Bob lives in New Orleans, very near the levee system along Lake Pontchartrain. Fortunately, his home was on higher ground and was spared the worst of the flooding during Katrina. Here are Bob's restoration stories for his Midland and Lloyds shortwave radio, his RCA 86T, and a few other radio restoration projects. If you have photos of electronics restoration projects, I welcome you to submit and I will add them to this page for others to enjoy. After Bob's project display is a 1941 Crosley Model 03CB floor model radio that I restored 20-some years ago. It was given as a wedding present to my sister-in-law (Melanie's sister). Robin Sparkes just checked in with a Capehart Radio restoration project that he is getting ready to undertake. Please click on the link to view his page. Maybe you can provide some assistance. You will also want to check out Gary Steinhour's restored
Hammarlund Mfg. RBG-2
and Scott Radio Labs RBO-2
Navy radios. Here is a page of links to companies that provide restoration services and parts. Paul's Tube Radio Restoration website has lots of good photos of restoration processes.

Need inspiration!!!!

Is it popular to paint wainscoting a dark color???? Mine is white now. Will dark colors look terrible next year?
Artisan Carpentry of the Main Line, LLC
Listen to B Fein- forget the word "popular" Also remember: what looks fresh and exciting at first often grows tiresome. Are you trying to anchor the room with a dark lower section? Make the room look taller? warmer? more masculine?
Carolyn Albert-Kincl, ASID
That's a lovely picture you posted and what makes the black and white wainscoting work, of course, is the rug. Without the rug or some other black and white influence, the wainscoting would be a "why did they do that" thing.
Try some textured wallpaper instead of paint.

I am a fan of white paint for some applications but not trim. When we moved into a country house all the doors, all the base boards were chocolate brown. What? I paid a pro to paint all dark brown with sage/pear color and the walls an off-white. What a difference! Do a little bit and see if you like it. I think you will love it. I would also suggest the door frame be different color -- but that is just me. Like others have said. It is your home. Love it!

Can electric cars break out of niche status in US, China market?
Despite a surge in interest, electric cars may remain niche products in the world's two largest auto markets. Advocates disagree.
Beijing and New york
Interest in electric cars is surging:
•Nearly 52,000 people were wait-listed as of mid-April for General Motors' electric model, the Volt, due in November. As of March, almost 56,000 people had signed up to reserve Nissan's all-electric Leaf, due in dealerships by December.
•In China, leading automakers BYD and Chery have announced plans to roll out their own electric models within the next two years.
•Investors, too, are excited. Electric-car ventures made up nearly 40 percent of $1.9 billion invested in 180 green-technology companies worldwide in the first quarter of 2010, according to a study by the Cleantech Group and Deloitte.
Yet in the United States and China, automakers' caution, weak price incentives, and concerns over the electrical grid are slowing the electric car's introduction. If electric cars can't break out of niche status in the world's two largest passenger car markets, then a transition away from gasoline-powered vehicles could be delayed. And many would-be buyers are likely to be frustrated by the lack of available cars. "There is undoubtedly going to be a backlog, where demand exceeds production for the next few years, due to the trepidation of the automakers that the electric car is not something consumers want," says Marc Geller, cofounder of the advocacy group Plug In America.
Take the 56,000 people who have signed up for a Leaf. Nissan is planning to start deploying it in only five states. Total cars initially available: 4,700.

Economic growth for 2012 is 1.2%, lower than forecasts
Published on Dec 31, 2012 4:32 PM
Singapore's economy grew at a lacklustre 1.2 per cent in 2012, slightly lower than official forecasts of around 1.5 per cent.
The outlook for 2013 was not much better, with initial estimates setting growth at between 1 and 3 per cent.
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong announced the figures in his regular New Year's Message on Friday, saying that Singapore is now in a new phase of slower growth.
For 2012, he attributed some of the lacklustre numbers to weak economies in the US, Europe and Japan that had dampened growth in Singapore.

The 92nd Street Y in Tribeca pulled fifty strings and got basically every cool comedy person in the world to be in their commercial — a parody of a long-running, long-annoying commercial for the New York Times "Weekender" subscription. It's a little on the silly-billy side for my parody-taste, but I do love Paul Rudd in glasses:
Yep. That was everybody.

2008 Lobbying Disclosure:
Observations on Lobbyists' Compliance with Disclosure Requirements
GAO-09-487: Published: Apr 1, 2009. Publicly Released: Apr 1, 2009.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-9095
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Honest Leadership and Open Government Act (HLOGA) of 2007 amended the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 by doubling the frequency of lobbyists' reporting and increasing criminal and civil penalties. This is GAO's second report in response to the Act's requirement for GAO to annually (1) determine the extent to which lobbyists can demonstrate compliance with the Act by providing support for information on their registrations and reports, (2) describe challenges identified by lobbyists to complying with the Act, and (3) describe the resources and authorities available to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia's efforts to enforce the Act. For this report, GAO placed increased emphasis on written documentation to support disclosure reports. GAO reviewed a random sample of 100 lobbyist disclosure reports filed during the first three quarters of calendar year 2008. GAO also selected a random sample of 100 reports of federal political contributions, filed for the first time, for mid-calendar-year 2008. This methodology allowed GAO to generalize the sample results to the populations of 40,169 lobbying activity disclosure reports and 6,048 reports with contributions filed. GAO met with lobbyists regarding their filings and with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia regarding resources, authorities, and efforts to focus resources on lobbyists who fail to comply with the Act.
While there are no specific requirements for lobbyists to create or maintain documentation related to disclosure reports they file under HLOGA, GAO's review showed that lobbyists were generally able to provide documentation, although in varying degrees, to support items in their disclosure reports. For income and expenses, two key elements of the disclosure reports, lobbyists could provide written documentation for an estimated 99 percent of the reports. However, in approximately 14 percent of cases, the documentation provided either was incomplete or contradicted the reported amount of income or expense. In addition to income and expenses, GAO reviewed five other data elements in the disclosure reports, and lobbyists who were required to report on these elements could provide documented support for all items in an estimated 35 percent of the reports. As of March 18, 2009, lobbyists had amended 12 disclosure reports included in GAO's sample to make corrections on one or more data elements. For political contribution reports, filed for the first time in 2008, GAO estimates that 65 percent of the reports could be supported by FEC data or documentation provided by lobbyists. An estimated 16 percent of the reports contained erroneous entries or failed to disclose required contributions. The majority of lobbyists who newly registered with the Secretary of the Senate and Clerk of the House in the first three quarters of 2008 filed required disclosure reports for the period. However, for about 13 percent of the registrants, GAO could not identify a corresponding report on file for their lobbying activity, likely because either a report was not filed or reports that were filed contained information, such as client names, that did not match. Similar to GAO's findings in the first review of lobbying disclosure, most lobbyists felt that existing guidance for filing required registrations and reports was sufficient. However, GAO's review of documentation and lobbyists' statements indicates some opportunities to strengthen lobbyists' understanding of the requirements. Some small firms and sole proprietors indicated they did not understand the requirement for both firms and individual lobbyists to file reports on financial contributions. GAO continues to believe, as noted in its first report, that the lobbying community could benefit from creating an organization to focus on sharing best practices, providing training, and reporting on opportunities to minimize potential confusion. In response to an earlier GAO recommendation, in April 2009 the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia (the Office) plans to put in place a system to better track, analyze, and report on its enforcement activities. The Office also has assigned an additional staff member to assist with lobbying compliance issues.

The "mystery building," under construction, sits on a barge at State Pier in New London on Tuesday. Despite the structure's size and visibility, its identity has thus far managed to remain a secret. Some guesses: a movie set, a floating prison, maybe even condominiums.
Speculation abounds, but identify of what's on barge remains a mystery
New London
- Rumors have swirled for weeks about what the mysterious four-story structure being built on a barge at State Pier could be.
Some say it's a movie set. Others believe it's a floating prison, a Defense Department project, condominiums or office space.
The barge and its secret cargo will soon leave the city. Several people familiar with the project either still do not know all of the details or aren't willing to divulge them.
The state Department of Transportation is responsible for the Admiral Harold E. Shear State Pier, and Logistec USA leases pier space from the DOT as one of two facility operators.
A spokesman for the terminal operator said Turner Construction leased space from Logistec around May to build the structure on the barge, but never told Logistec exactly what it was building. The barge will go to a yard in Maine next week so the structure can be completed, the spokesman added, and the contractor has been "very adamant" about "keeping it under wraps."
Chuck Beck, the transportation maritime manager for the DOT, said the department was not involved in the fiduciary agreement between Logistec and Turner Construction and, as a result, "has little to no details on what was being constructed, why or for whom."
The job superintendent provided by the DOT for Turner Construction did not return calls for comment. The company's vice president for communications said he would find out about the project Friday but did not provide any information by late in the day. The construction company was hired by a client for the work.
Two barges of equal size docked at the pier and container units to make up the building were brought in. No construction took place on the second barge, which is behind the first. Workers have not been there in several weeks.
There were several security guards at the site earlier this month. Three of them said the only thing they were told was to watch the building until it was taken away.
The Coast Guard reviewed the plans, since the construction could affect the stability of an ocean-going barge.
Lt. Jeff Janaro, spokesman for Coast Guard Sector Long Island Sound, said the marine inspector told him he could not discuss the plans "for proprietary reasons." Janaro said it's unusual that the person being regulated would ask the Coast Guard not to disclose information for that reason. The Day has filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the Coast Guard documents.
"Usually the marine inspection business is fairly routine," Janaro said. "This is a little outside of the normal realm."
Both the state and federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration offices said they were not involved.
Brian Thompson, director of the Office of Long Island Sound Programs for the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, said the department would not require a structures, dredging and fill permit if nothing was built permanently in or adjacent to the water. There is nothing on file in the office, he added.
"It's just a modification on that barge, and we wouldn't require a permit for that," Thompson said.
Tammy Daugherty, the city's director of development and planning, directed all questions about the matter to Logistec and the state.
When asked if the city was told what the building is, she said, "I need to just remain silent. We have not been told. I think it's a security thing. I don't know. We don't have any information on it."
U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney's office was told the building is a movie set. John Johnson, chairman of Operation Sail 2012 and the recent Connecticut Schooner Festival, said he heard the same thing. "I believe I'm right about that, based on everything I've heard over two or three months," Johnson said Friday.
George Norfleet, director of the Connecticut Office of Film, Television and Digital Media, said he was not notified about any film set construction at State Pier, but said he probably would not be if the company is not filming at the site and therefore not applying for a tax credit.
Others speculated the Department of Defense or the New York City Department of Correction is involved.
A Defense Department spokesman said he could not try to figure it out without first knowing which of the many agencies that fall within the department could have paid for the construction.
New York City has a prison barge with cells that was built to reduce overcrowding. The Vernon C. Bain Center in the Bronx is part of the Rikers Island prison.
Sailfest Executive Director Barbara J. Neff said people were calling her office to ask about the building, so she called the DOT. She said she was told the building will be used in New York. "It seems like it's a pretty hush-hush thing,"
she said.
Most people who were asked said they were curious about it, but for now it remains a mystery.

I think it might be a top secret test by a top secret organization to see if the area and its local officials can be entrusted with top secret projects. Loose lips sink ships - or barges or whatever they are - or aren't. Sue - was just thinking of that skit the other day! |
September 29, 2013 10:06 pm
I wonder if the builders received a tax incentive that will not require them to pay taxes for a number of years to build the mystery "thing" in New London. Then they can be out of the business of building in the city before they owe any taxes. LOL, not that it's happened in the past. |

Tammy Daugherty says "She must remain silent." But then goes on to ramble speculation , refer all questions to somebody else and then says " I think its a security thing." You think.... "I don't know." No kidding Tammy....you don't know. And "We don't have any information on it." Right because its none of your business and you just don't know. You started good Tammy with I must remain silent. You should have kept it that way. I heard it was full of bike racks for the City at the request Laura Natusch. |

September 28, 2013 9:57 am
I was amazed by how many people didn't realize it was even there, after it had been there for weeks. As to the "public" interest, some of it stems from its location at State Pier instead of private property. I am sure we will find out in due time; enquiring minds (including mine) want to know! |
September 28, 2013 8:54 am
Enough with the rampant speculation. I have contacted my inside sources and believe I have an answer to this floating enigma. It's a Dunkin' Donuts. |
September 28, 2013 8:14 am
Why do we care? It is not interfering with our lives, they have not asked us for any tax dollars to support it and it does not appear to be a drain on our resources. Until it does one of those things it really is none of our business and our relentless pursuit of "the truth" may put future projects in jeopardy... |

"I used this photo as an addition to my daughter's fourth birthday invitations. I do not send out too many holiday cards, so I wanted to send out something to just kind of say "Hi! We're doing well and are thinking of all of you" with her invitations. The template was very easy to use and fit well with the photographs I had taken of my daughter. Although it looks to be used primarily for birth announcements, I found the text very easy to edit and manipulate into whatever I specifically wanted it to be. Unlike other templates, I truly believe the possibilities are endless with this one! All text that is included on card is editable, therefore you can make it fit with any occasion you need :)"
"Overall, I'm very happy with our purchase. The design of our daughters birth announcement was easy and fun and it turned out perfect. I appreciate all the envelope options to further personalize the card. Will order from them again."
"This birth announcement design is just darling! We've gotten many compliments. I love the clean and easy to read text and the overlaid flowers that add a touch of whimsy to the card. The text is easy to format with several fonts and sizes. Cards were shipped to us in no time flat- we received them in a week after ordering them and having the design proofed."
"Adorable design, easy to personalize (I even changed the wording at the top from "our sweet addition" to "our sweet daughter", which was an added bonus for me since not all photo card sites offer that option) and super fast shipping. The paper is great quality and the printing is beautiful. I've gotten lots of compliments on them :) Highly recommend these!!b"
"Everyone in my family absolutely loved receiving this birth announcement. It is such a sweet design, the paper is obviously high quality and the printing was flawless. My mother-in-law loved it so much, she asked for a few more copies to hand out.....I had to order more :)"
